In many years Ford was outsold by other makes, so I don't think it was just numbers, but Ford developed all steel bodies and the wood interstructures of the other makes did not survive. This is another valuable input, or crazy theory, for your debating pleasure.

I often sit and wonder what it would be like to have been raised up in a period of time when Ford was making their 10th, 15th, or 20th million car.

Those cars were certainly crude contraptions when compared to what cars are being made today, but their sheer number produced make me awestruck at times. We have lost something along the way to our addiction to power seats, power windows, climate control, sound systems, navigational aids, and computer controlled everything.

I suppose it is easy to glorify such an age, surely they had their problems, but the comparative simplicity of life seems very attractive to me right at this point in time.

Why do we strive to make everything so damned complicated? I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter much at this point anyway.....

The Jalopy Journal user is actually a "Blog bot" that Ryan uses to post the daily TJJ Blog ... and this thread is actually the "comment forum" for today's TJJ Blog.

Today's TJJ Blog was written by Jive-Bomber Jay (i.e., not Ryan) ... and includes a video that was uploaded to YouTube on March 21, 2011 (i.e., not 5 years ago).

I'd guess that Ryan (currently in Australia) gave Jay the task of posting his own Blog ... but neglected to train Jay on the proper use of this "Blog bot" ... hence The Jalopy Journal's first & only post.

100 lashes for Jive it is! Old fan belt, perhaps? Regardless, I enjoyed the read, pictures and video. Thanks for sharing whoever did it! LOL
